4. The standout receivers
Sidney Rice won't be playing because of his knee, though he has been practicing. Tight end Zach Miller won't play thanks to a foot injury, though he did return to practice this week. And we already know how Golden Tate and Doug Baldwin play.
Instead, keep an eye on the receivers who are vying for big jobs. Wideout Jermaine Kearse (pictured) has been a preseason star and should get a spot on the roster. Rookie Stephen Williams likewise has turned heads. But what about Bryan Walters, Arceto Clark, Chris Harper and Perez Ashford?
Meanwhile, Seattle still needs to settle on a No. 2 for Miller at tight end. Rookie Luke Willson has been productive this preseason but could show us more. Sean McGrath, a sophomore, is looking to return to the active roster. And then there are the bubble guys like Cooper Helfet, Jameson Konz, Darren Fells and Andrei Lintz.
